Happy Easter!

The Easter twig tree is up, the Easter nests are constructed and plans are in place for the Easter egg hunt... now we just need the sun to put his hat back on and we'll be egggstremely happy.

More than a sniff of Spring...

That was just the most gorgeous weekend...anoraks abandoned and a spontaneous garden picnic in between the garden graft. These handy tubs came into their own as non spill sandwich and snack plates, perfect for placing securely on early spring sprouty grass...

Splash of spring colour anyone?

We're loving spotting the odd splash of promise-of-spring colour at the moment... crocuses popping up, a snowdrop or two mixed in with lots of rosy weatherbeaten cheeks and cold blue fingers. We're staying inside for the time being but cheering ourselves up with a set of these cute embroidered hooks - we're thinking we might pass on a few as alternative Easter gifts too...

Loved up...

What better way to greet your loved one on Valentine's morning, than with a great cup of coffee, kept toasty warm in one of these cute cafetiere cosies...

Loved up...

We haven't had any of our handpainted love-seats on the site for a while but we've just recently painted up this little beauty in a gorgeously lived-in creamy beige. Worth a look if you fancy a little bit of something lovely...

Flutterby Butterfly...

This rather special vintage butterfly wall cabinet is handpainted, perfectly pretty and we LOVE it. We've been surprised that no-one's snapped it up already but our photo doesn't really do it justice... it would make a fabulous Christmas present though if you're on the hunt for something a bit different... otherwise Erica will kidnap it for our bathroom revamp in the new year.
